In this study, unidirectional C_f materials were subjected to orthogonal grinding experiments using different fiber orientations. Through a combined analysis of the surface morphology and grinding force after processing, the mechanism underlying the effect of the fiber orientation on the surface morphology of the material was explained. The surface roughness of the material was less affected by the process parameters and fluctuated around the fiber radius scale; the average surface roughness (<i>R</i>_a) in the direction of scratching parallel (SA) and perpendicular (SB) to the fiber direction was 4.21‒5.00 μm and 4.42‒5.26 μm, respectively; the material was mainly removed via the brittle removal mechanism; and the main defects of the fiber in the SA direction were tensile fracture and extrusion fracture; the main defects of the fiber in the SB direction were bending fracture, shear fracture, and fiber debonding. The grinding parameters influenced the grinding force in the order: depth of cut &gt; feed rate &gt; wheel speed. The grinding force increased with an increase in the feed rate or depth of cut and decreased with an increase in the wheel speed. Moreover, increasing the depth of cut was more effective in decreasing the grinding force and improving the material removal efficiency than adjusting the rotational speed of the workpiece and the rotational speed of the grinding wheel. The specific grinding energy decreased with an increase in the feed rate or depth of cut, and increased with an increase in the grinding wheel speed.</p>","PeriodicalId":7342,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Manufacturing","volume":"94 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142248759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study conducts bevel machining experiments, pointing out that the surface quality becomes unsatisfactory with the increasing bevel angle. The discharge condition is counted and analyzed, while the flow field and the removed particle movement of the discharge gap are simulated, demonstrating the primary factor contributing to the degradation of surface quality, namely the loss of flushing. This weakens both the plasma control effect and debris evacuation, leading to the poor discharge condition. To address this issue, the magnetic field is implemented in blasting erosion arc machining (BEAM). The application of a magnetic field effectively regulates the arc plasma, enhances debris expulsion, and significantly improves the discharge conditions, resulting in a smoother and more uniform sloped surface with a reduced recast layer thickness.

In this paper, a single-scratch test with a finite element simulation model is conducted to study the mechanism of burr generation. The tests were carried out under ultrasonic vibration and non-ultrasonic vibration conditions to explore the effect of ultrasonic vibration on burrs. Besides, a honing experiment is conducted to verify the conclusions. The results at various cutting parameters are analyzed, and the mechanism of burr generation is revealed. The stiffness lacking of the workpiece edge material is the main reason for the burr generation. The cutting depth shows a significant effect on burr size while the cutting speed does not. The inhibition mechanism of ultrasonic vibration on burrs is also revealed. The separation of the burr stress field under ultrasonic vibration and the higher bending hinge point is the reason for burr fracturing. The re-cutting effect of ultrasonic vibration reduces the burr growth rate.

To ensure optimum gear trans mission performance, the tooth surface texture should be enhanced without comparing the gear precision. By integrating the principle of internal gearing power honing with tooth surface topology modifications, the adjusted honing texture can be forecasted, and proactive control can be achieved, both of which are considered as crucial for the reduction of gear vibration and noise. In this study, a manufacturing technique for high-order modified helical gears is introduced. The formation rules and modeling of the honing texture are explored, leading to a novel method for three-dimensional modeling and control of the altered honing texture. The direction of the cutting speed of abrasive grains at the contact point between the honing wheel and working gear tooth surface was examined. Using the discrete abrasive grain motion trajectory method, the honing texture was produced, through which the formation mechanisms and control strategies of the curved honing texture were illuminated. Based on these findings, a method for flexible topology modifications of the tooth surface is suggested. This is achieved by adjusting the motion coefficients of each axis of the honing machine and adding additional motion in the form of higher-order polynomials to three motion axes, including the radial feed and oscillation axes of the honing wheel and the interleaved axes of the work gear and honing wheel. A least-squares estimation method, based on a sensitivity matrix, was employed to determine the additional motion coefficients. By this method, the texture of the modified tooth surface can also be predicted and controlled. In a numerical example, the efficacy of the flexible topology modification method was confirmed. In this case, the altered honing texture was managed by modifying the axis intersection angle, while the accuracy of tooth surface modifications was maintained. This study has theoretical and application value in the field of gear manufacturing, oriented to the demand for gear vibration and noise reduction functions.</p>","PeriodicalId":7342,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Manufacturing","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142204436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, a novel mathematical model was established to predict surface roughness (<i>R</i>_a). The proposed model was validated experimentally, and the predicted and experimental results showed similar trends under various processing parameters, with both within an error range of 12%–20%. The relationships between the machining parameters and <i>R</i>_a for the two grinding methods were further investigated. The results showed that increases in the grinding speed and ultrasonic amplitude resulted in a decrease in <i>R</i>_a, whereas increases in the grinding depth and workpiece speed resulted in an increase in <i>R</i>_a. Furthermore, the <i>R</i>_a values obtained using the UVAG method were lower than those of conventional grinding (CG). Finally, the influence of ultrasonic vibration on the surface topography was investigated. Severe tearing occurred on the CG surface, whereas no evident defects were observed on the ultrasonically machined surface. The surface quality was improved by increasing the ultrasonic amplitude such that it did not exceed 4 μm, and a further increase in ultrasonic amplitude deteriorated the surface topography.

Firstly, a high-fidelity FE model for the L-DED process was developed and subsequently validated through an experimental examination of the cross-sectional geometries of the molten pools and temperature fields of the substrate. Then, a Bi-directional gated recurrent unit (Bi-GRU) was formulated to predict the temperature evolution of the molten pools during L-DED. By training the Bi-GRU model using datasets generated from the FE model, it was deployed to efficiently predict the temperature evolution of the manufactured multi-layer single-bead walls.

The results also showed that the prediction time required by this approach, once trained, was significantly reduced by five orders of magnitude compared with the FE model.
